"I wanted to take a bit more time off. I found that playing in those other leagues was slightly more rewarding as a player," Steyn had said. "I think when you go to the IPL there are such big squads and so many big names and so much emphasis on the amount of money that the players earn that somewhere along the line the cricket kind of gets forgotten. When you come to the PSL or the LPL, there's an importance on the cricket."
Steyn has now come up with a tweet clarifying that his intention was not to degrade, insult or compare leagues and that his words were taken out of context.
IPL has been nothing short of amazing in my career, as well as other players too.

Social media and words out of context can often do that.
My apologies if this has upset anyone.
